Yeah, 16 just slipped right by me. I struggled with this passage under timed conditions - for some reason, it was exceptionally difficult for me to spot the author's voice in this one in a way I haven't really experienced before

12/13 on 2 five star difficulty passages - not bad by any means. Timing is going to be tough. I keep trying to apply the reading strategies we've learned but I do go slower on the reading than I (and 7Sage, apparently) would like.

A minute over time only because I eliminated B on the first pass. Just read too fast and did not make the appropriate connections. But when I shallow dove on the rest and saw they were all incorrect, I went back to A and B, saw that B was SOLIDLY analogous and chose it. Time is a killer.

I'm so glad you laid out the same thought process I had with the stimulus before diving into the answers. I legitimately had no idea what the flaw was and it did not click until I read C.

@lauetal thank you for making me legitimately laugh after bombing this question.

@CMas 100%. Gut said C at first but then I went between C and D because I started thinking about these exact assumptions.

5/5, but both Q2 and Q4 really tripped me up...3 min over time on the former, 2 on the latter. Something about the phrasing on those questions - think I will need to re-review conditional indicators again.

4/5 correct, fixed on the blind review to 5/5. Fell for the trap in Q5 :( oh well, onward!
